Admitted that description was not perfect (anyway it was not mine ;-)). If a key is deleted, it is deleted. I don't think it is intuitive to expect that the dict "remembers" a deleted item. If it is added again, it is like it is seen for the first time and thus appended. I don't think your argument viliates what I said in my last post. -- Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
